"It's not that I'm jealous, I just don't understand. They're both sons, so why is there such a big difference between them!"
Cui Guo also felt that the emperor's favoritism was outrageous. When she was at home, she had heard people say that the emperor loved his eldest son and the common people loved their youngest son.
The Third Prince was the eldest son, and much older than the others. He only had this one son by his side for a long time, yet he showed no affection for him whatsoever.
In the eyes of these servants, Consort Qi and the Third Prince were both easy masters to serve, and they liked to joke and laugh with them.
Consort Qi was heartbroken, and Cui Guo also felt sad. "Your Majesty, they say that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Forgive my boldness, but you and the Third Prince are just too quiet."
"They say that meeting in person strengthens the bond, but the Emperor is busy with state affairs. If you and the Third Prince have grievances but don't tell him, the Emperor won't know."
Consort Qi said, "Does it make any difference? Every time I see the Third Prince, I scold him. Now, when Hongshi sees Father Emperor, he's like a mouse seeing a cat."

Cui Guo advised, "He is still his own son. The Emperor will not disregard the Empress and the Third Prince."
"Besides, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince have always had a good relationship. Even if the Emperor is worried about his youngest son, the Fifth Prince will not mistreat his older brother."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Consort Cheng often has the Third Prince take the Fifth Prince out to play, which shows that Consort Cheng is not stingy."
"Isn't the relationship between Your Highness and Consort Cheng quite good?"
Consort Qi thought that ever since she heard those things, although she tried to please Sun Miaoqing, she was more afraid of her, so she did not dare to associate with her too frequently.
Now, for the sake of her son's future, she can't worry about these things. Consort Hua and Consort Wan are both fine, so what is she afraid of!
Consort Qi said, "You're right. I have a few more top-quality rubies. Go find them."
"Take him to Changchun Immortal Pavilion later to congratulate Consort Cheng."
